Tuesday, Jan. 28, 2025 (Healthday News) – Comorbid Chronic Inflammatory Diseases (CIDS) Influence The Prognosis of Alopecia Areata (AA), According to a Research Letter Published Online Jan. 8 In Allergy.
Annika Friedrich, from the University of Bonn in Germany, and Colleagues Used Self-Reported Data from 2.657 Mainly Central European AA Patients to Conduct A Comparhensive Analysis of Associations Between as arbid cids and selected aa-clinical Features of releases to prognosis.
OVERALL, 53.7 Percent of the AA Cohort Reported One or More Combid Cid of Any Type: 44.5 and 17.4 Percent Reported One or More Comobid Atopic Cid and Natopic Cid, respective. The Researchers Found That Compred With Pats With No Comorbid Cids, Those with asthym, bronchial Asthma, or Hashimoto Thyroiditis Were Significantly More Like Early-Onset, Severe, and Prolonged AA. Significant Increured Risk For Prolonged aa was seen for patients with as aorbid rhinitis or vitiligo. Compred with aspects ad or rhinitis, comorbid bronchial asthma Was Associated with a Higher Risk for Early-Onset, Seven, or Prolonged AA. The More Pronounced Association Was Seen for Cid as Cid as Status with aa Duration Than with Age of Onset or Severity. The Significant Higher Number of Self-Reported Atopic Comorbidities was Seen in Early-Onset, Severe, and Prolonged Aa Compred with Late-Onset, Mild, and Nonprolgeded Disease, respectively. PER ADDITIONAL ATOPIC COMARBIDITY, THE ODDS OF EARLY-NANSET, SEVERRE, AND PROLONGED AA INCREASED BY 1,179, 1,130, AND 1.202, RESPECTIVELY. The Mean Age of Onset for aa was Almost 10 Years Earlier in Patients with ad + bronchial Asthma + Rhinitis Compred with Patients with aa Only.
“Our Findings Suggest That Distinct Comrbid Constellations May Indicate AA Subtypes With Differing Prognoses,” The Authors Write.
